Shouldn't have said anything, now I'm getting paragraphs upon paragraphs about Putler and how the West has a moral obligation to prolong the war in Ukraine for as long as possible sad-boi

Also while apparently it can't be denied that the far right has grown somewhat stronger in Ukraine, the Ukrainian military had to rely on militias such as Azov so they wouldn't lose, we should not worry because they haven't seen that much electoral success

If defending Crimea was all that was happening, then yeah, I'd agree with you. But Putin's stated goal is "denazification," which I don't really see any way to interpret except as overthrowing the government and installing one he likes better.

Putin wanted Ukraine to denazify since before the invasion and has stated as much. If you look at the actual Minsk Accords, they aren't demanding the ousting of the Ukrainian government. What Putin does care about are the literal Nazi paramilitary-turned-military who were spearheading the attacks on Donbas for eight years. The banderites are a real problem in Ukraine for many reasons and represent a political problem to Russia, it makes perfect sense for denazification of Ukraine to be a sincere demand, though obviously Russia doesn't give a shit about denazifying itself beyond occassional checks on the actual ethnonationalist political movements (like Navalny, Rest In ~~Power~~ Piss)
